OT-ish: Company Stores- Worth it?
A lot of talk about Trek, etc buying up your LBS so I'm curious:
Does anyone on the "inside" know if these have been financially profitable moves for the respective corporations?
From my generation, the recollection is that Apple was the trailblazer in this idea (excepting the temporary pop-up or "flagship" store concept), and other tech companies have tried to replicate with no financial success.
I wonder how it's working out with the bike stuff.
